Teenagers and children turned out to get vaccinated on Monday at The Glencarn Hotel in Castleblayney, County Monaghan. 19-year-old Ross Mshanen and 12-year-old Leo McGeough, accompanied by his mother Amy Rooney, were among those who got the jab. It comes as the Irish Health Service Executive announced parents can now register children aged five to 11 for Covid-19 vaccines, with the rollout set to begin imminently.
